Introduction

Davis, California is a relatively small University town in the middle of California's Central Valley, near Sacramento. Davis is the home of the University of California, Davis, and is also renowned for its bicycle friendliness. In fact, Davis was awarded the highest recognition by the League of American Bicyclists, designating Davis as a Platinum Level Bicycle Friendly City.

With this honor, Davis now has a reputation to uphold. Are we perfect? Not quite. In spite of all the progress made over the last 40 years, even Davis still has some rough edges. The idea for this blog came from running across (many times literally) a number of those rough edges. Perhaps publicizing them might help progress to a more finely polished bicycle friendly City.

Thus, the name of this blog. Welcome to our blemishes!
